The story of a real-estate agent with a hatred of the Yankees, a devil with a weakness for an escape clause and the possibility of the Washington Nationals winning the pennant opened a nine-show run at Burlington’s Malt House Theater this week.
A cast of veterans takes the stage for “Damn Yankees” in the Haylofters’ production. Performances are Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 8-10 and Oct. 15-17, and Friday through Sunday Oct. 23-25.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday shows at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $15, and are available at the Coffee House at Chestnut and Pine, or online at thehaylofters.com for a small service fee. Tickets may also be purchased at the box office beginning one hour before curtain, depending on availability.
“Damn Yankees” won seven Tony Awards in 1957, including Best Musical. It tells the story of Joe Hardy, a diehard Nationals fan who makes a deal with the devil to have one last shot at helping his team beat the Yankees for the pennant.
The cast includes Rob King as Mr. Applegate – AKA, the devil – Zach Spencer as Joe Hardy and Jandrea Novak as Lola, a career right-hand lady of the devil himself.
